The structural system utilizes heavy timber, including cross laminated timber panels to form the shear walls. This is the first significant project to use these panels in this manner in North America.

Wood Innovation and Design Centre Prince George, BC

As the owner’s technical representative, we developed the first Site-Specific Regulation and Building Code Compliance Strategy, addressing structural implications of using wood solutions for tall and multi-use structures.

Van Kam Freight Way Terminal Kelowna, BC

The Van Kam terminal includes an 8500 square feet warehouse and 5000 square feet, two-storey office building. Associated's design of the office building leveraged the use of cross-laminated timber (CLT) for a cost-effective, robust structure. Our scope included design of structural, electrical and mechanical systems.

Associated assessed the vulnerability of the existing and proposed Engineering Building at the University of Saskatchewan to climate change, applying the Public Infrastructure Engineering Vulnerability Committee (PIEVC) Risk Assessment Protocol. The project was a unique application of the PIEVC protocol on a future building.
